A Brit began to panic during a near-miss with a shark after it bit off her flipper.

Daisy Lloyd was left screaming into her snorkel after her dive with the beasts from the deep almost went horribly wrong.

The solo-traveller was surrounded by a shiver of sharks that each stretched over 9ft long.

After first entering the water she admitted to being a little bit ‘scared’ until they began to swarm around her.

Suddenly, one of the nurse sharks darted towards her legs and ripped her flipper off.

The shocking near-miss encounter took place in the Maldives, as reported by Need To Know.

Daisy, from Liverpool, had taken a boat trip to swim with sharks.

Her tour guide helped capture footage of her trip where she did a number of poses with the animals.

Daisy said: “I didn’t like the feel of them.

“I accidentally let go of the hook connecting me to the boat which freaked me out.

“Then I was the chosen one.

“Big up the guy recording who told me my flipper fell off and it wasn’t a shark to keep me calm.

“I knew I was right.”

In the footage, after the shark narrowly misses her toes and snatches the flipper, you can hear Daisy screaming under the water.

The panicked Brit shared the footage online – which quickly went viral, gaining over 3,000 likes.

Viewers were left spooked by the clip.

One person said: “Oh my god, them touching me would send me into psychosis.”

Another viewer added: “I’d be so scared for my toes.”

One other commented: “Still creasing at how you curl up once it steals your flipper.”

One person wrote: “I think I would cry, scream, die – everything.”

Another person said: “He wanted that flipper.”
